Players: Today was unfortunate, but should serve as an important lesson. We cannot control the actions of others. However, we CAN control OUR own actions and responses. Continue to represent yourself, your family, and your school and community with class, dignity and respect.

Shutting down school was a gut punch today. Our best work doesn’t come through computer communication. An hour after the announcement, I got this. Reminds me of what we are missing out on. Teared up a little, but tomorrow we’ll get back to trying to make a difference #NeverGiveIn
